Abstract:

Median-crossover crashes are among the most hazardous events that ; can occur on freeways, often leading to serious injury or death. In recent ; years, high-tension cable median barriers have emerged as a cost-effective alternative to conventional barriers in preventing such crashes. ; MDOT began installing them on state freeways in 2008. This research ; project confirmed that cable median barriers are effective at reducing ; crossover crashes and improving freeway safety in Michigan, produced ; guidelines to help identify the best locations to install them, and ; developed content for public outreach materials explaining their benefit.
